Thank god it's not all that obvious (as this thread implies), because when I
first started to look at the cron and andcron man pages, I didn't really know
where to start.
I've set up a crontab entry in /etc/cron.d for my script, which I guess it the
right way to go. I didn't use Kcron, which I

I set the ppp option "demand" which like you said connects when I try to
access the network. It terminates the connection after 60 seconds of no
traffic. It takes maybe 20 seconds to connect (I haven't actually timed it), which
isn't exactly instantaneous, but much faster than my old modem!

Assuming the script ip-up runs *after* the DSL connection is
established, then yes. When it comes to dial-up/ppp

Tha sounds like a very logical thing to do, as you can tell I'm a newbie.
Do you mean running the script from ip-up??
Maybe somone can tell me how to tell pppd to connect, i.e. without for

Thanks,
I figured it out! I now have another problem. The script I'm using is
connecting to the mail server using the Net::POP3 module, and it's timing out
before I can establish my DSL connection. The module supposedly takes a Timeout
command i.e.
$pop = Net::POP3->new('pop3host', Timeout =>

"*/15" is a handy shortcut for the same thing. That's particularly handy
for jobs that need to run, say, every 3 minutes.

To get access to your cron conf file run
$crontab -e
It will open up your defualt editor.
This means you do not have to be root to change cron run times.
